| Quote: | LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A man who said he threw a live electrical wire into his wife's bath hoping a near-death experience would save their marriage was convicted of attempted first-degree intentional homicide Wednesday.
William Dahlby said in court he was only trying to scare his wife the evening of May 9. He told jurors the wire was hooked to a "ground fault interrupter" designed to cut the electricity when the cord encountered water. His wife was not hurt.
Prosecutors said Dahlby was trying to kill his wife to start a new life with another woman.
Dahlby's wife, Mary, testified Tuesday her husband drew her bath after they spent the day taking a walk and a long motorcycle ride.
While she took her bath, her husband came into the bathroom and dropped the cord into the bath, she said.
She jumped out of the bath, but her husband tried to push her back in the tub, Mary Dahlby said. She got free and ran out of the bathroom.
Her husband, who also was convicted of intimidation of a victim, was scheduled for sentencing December 10. |
Haha, what a d**k.

lol
Further proof anyone who thinks he is a bad-ass should try fighting someone whose life is under threat.
It's like the old parable of the fox and the hare. Why can't the fox ever catch the hare? Because the fox is merely running for dinner, the hare is running for it's life.

the whole gfi angle doesnt seem to hold water when the guy tries to push her back in.
Sounds like he didnt know it was a gfi, and it using that as his excuse that he was just scaring her.

I don't see how that would save the marrage. Shouldn't he have been the one that had the near death experience to invoke a feeling of pity and rehash old emotion of care and love?
